In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 199 Please choose a suitable day!

When they arrived at the imperial study, Su Yueyao was led directly in by Fuan.

When she entered and found a room full of people, she spotted Cui Yiyang standing behind the Queen.

The two exchanged glances in the air, and Cui Yiyang nodded at Su Yueyao.

Su Yueyao replied, walked to the middle, saluted to the empress and said, "I greet your majesty."

Suddenly everyone in the room looked at her.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Did you draw the crossbow design for Su Yueyao?" the Queen asked directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Yesterday, I went to the Imperial Guard camp with Deputy Commander Cui. I visited the weapons room and thought of this when I saw the bows and arrows." Su Yueyao said directly.

"This is Minister Xun from the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works must manufacture bows and crossbows as soon as possible this time. Su Yueyao, you should go to the Ministry of Works within the next month and cooperate with the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works." The Queen examined Su Yueyao for a while and said to her.

"Your Majesty, I only have a rough idea of ​​this weapon, but I have never actually made it. I'm afraid I can't help you in making it." Su Yueyao said.

"Since you have never seen it, how can you draw such a weapon blueprint?" asked Minister Xun.

"I was once taught knowledge by an old man in Yi County. I read about it in a book at that time. This time, when I saw the bow and arrow, I thought of the drawings of the crossbow." Su Yueyao said to Minister Xun.

Is this Xun Haoxuan’s uncle?

"Can you find the old lady Su Yueyao?" asked the Queen.

"I haven't seen him for several years." Su Yueyao said.

Everyone felt regretful for a moment, and the Queen said, "Since Su Yueyao's drawings were made by you, the Ministry of Works will need your cooperation in the later stages."

"If the Ministry of Industry has any problems with manufacturing, I will be there at any time."

The Queen nodded in satisfaction when she heard this and said, "Minister Xun, this matter must be kept secret. The craftsmen in charge of manufacturing should check it out and leave. Su Yueyao will stay."

"My minister retire."

Minister Xun led the people from the Ministry of Works to retreat.

Afterwards, the only people left in the Imperial Study were the Empress's eunuchs, Su Yueyao and Cui Yiyang.

"Su Yueyao, what else do you have besides this weapon blueprint?" the Queen asked directly.

Su Yueyao's heart tightened when she heard this. Did the queen suspect something?

"I don't know what your majesty means."

"Su Yueyao, you have no internal strength, you don't know martial arts, and you have never joined the army. No one from the Su family in Yi County has ever joined the barracks or served in the army, so even if you have seen the drawings of weapons, you shouldn't remember them." said the Queen.

"Your Majesty, I..." Su Yueyao was a little hesitant and didn't know how to explain.

"Su Yueyao, think about how to answer. Are you capable of bearing the crime of deceiving the emperor?" said the Queen's majestic voice.

"Your Majesty, when I saw the blueprint, the old man at that time told me that this was a kind of weapon, so I thought of it when I saw the bow and arrow." Su Yueyao said steadily.

"Did he teach you anything else?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants. Over the years, the old man taught me the most about painting."

"My kingdom is now controlled by aristocratic families everywhere. If the weapons you provided can be manufactured, I can take back the military power held by the Xie family little by little. I can even deter other countries and stabilize the border of Fengluan Kingdom."

“But among the officials entering the court and holding important positions, there has never been a son of aristocratic family with low background. So, Su Yueyao, tell me, can you be the only one to enter the court and even serve as an opponent of the prime minister in the future, and fight for an opportunity for the children of poor families in the world to enter the court?” The empress said to Su Yueyao.

"Your Majesty...you think too highly of me. I have no family to rely on. The only reason I can live in Fengdu now is because of your Majesty's will. I'm afraid I can't do what your Majesty asks." Su Yueyao refused.

"Did you really write that article encouraging learning?"

"An article to encourage learning... is..." Su Yueyao was completely upset. That was the work of the Confucian classic Xunzi. How could she write it? It almost killed her when she tried to memorize it.

"Your Majesty, I will try my best to do things that are beneficial to the court in the future. Please don't ask me where these things come from?" Su Yueyao raised her head and said.

She has the audacity to say that she wrote the poems, which is already an insult to her ancestors, the poets of the Tang and Song dynasties. However, she cannot speak of the literary classics, nor can she touch upon them. But it is a good thing that the literati of this era can learn from them and pass them down!

"You are telling the truth. You married my eldest prince, so you will be my son-in-law in the future. You can come to the palace and report to me at any time if you have anything to say. I will fully support you in anything that benefits the country and the people." The empress said with all her majesty disappearing after hearing Su Yueyao's words.

Su Yueyao felt that the empress's aura had weakened a lot, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't resist the aura of a superior who was intimidating without even getting angry, especially since this person was the emperor who held the power of life and death in the world.

"The director of the Imperial Observatory has already calculated the date for your wedding with the eldest prince. You can choose a suitable day!" As soon as the empress finished speaking, the eunuch Fu'an came with a tray with three pieces of red paper with different dates written on them.

Su Yueyao took a look and saw that they were the 20th of next month, the 8th of August, and the 12th of October.

Su Yueyao subconsciously wanted to pick the eighth day of the eighth month in the middle. At least there were less than three months left before the crazy eldest prince came in. She felt that the later he came in, the more peace she would have.

But before her hand could reach it, Fuan stopped her with a slight cough.

When Su Yueyao's hand trembled and she reached the last date, Fuan coughed again.

She looked at Fu'an and found that Fu'an was signaling to her.

Su Yueyao was somewhat helpless and took the first one. Fu An smiled and nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Su is very anxious to marry the eldest prince! She has chosen the first date, the 20th of next month."

Su Yueyao felt a gust of wind blowing through her heart...

The Queen has already been chosen...why else is there any need for her to choose? Wouldn't it be better to just tell her the date of her wedding?

"Very good! I also feel that although this day is a bit stressful, Yueyao and Taoer love each other, so it would be good for them to get married sooner!" said the Queen happily.

"Your Majesty is right." Su Yueyao said resignedly.

"Yueyao, the prince's mansion I chose for Taoer before is the one closest to the imperial palace. The mansion where you live now is too small. This time you have contributed the weapon blueprints, so I will specially give you a mansion next to Taoer's mansion. This way, no matter where you stay in the future, it will be more convenient." The queen said with a smile.

“......” Su Yueyao’s first reaction when she heard this was that they, the rich ones, all complained about her small house!

But then she realized something was wrong! If her residence was next to the eldest prince's residence, wouldn't she see him every day in the future?

Thinking about it, this day is even more difficult...
